Hardcastle's 2002 Tacoma DC - "blanco"

Other- I bought this truck with the intentions of keeping it bone stock and not altering a thing. Over time I’ve added a little bit to help make my weekend adventures a little nicer but overall it’s still a normal boring Tacoma. I don’t plan on changing much else. I think I have a pretty good balance of 100% streetable grocery getter while still being able to have some fun offroad. These Tacoma's are really capable in stock form.


The nickname “blanco” came from my neighbor/friend. He knows I speak no spanish so just to bug me he speaks Spanish. He referred to it as my “blanco taco” and blanco just sorta stuck.

I'm sad to say I ended up selling this truck a few weeks back. I really liked this setup but the desire to occasionally tow my fj40 finally won out and I went and bought a crew cab Tundra with a 5.7. I'm looking for a Four Wheel Camper that will fit the new truck so hopefully I find it soon.
